Description of problem: After upgrading to coreutils-6.12-7.fc10, setting LS_COLORS in .cshrc for the tcsh shell leads to the error message: "Unknown colorls variable `ca'." Shell initalization aborts at this point. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): coreutils-6.12-7.fc10 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Update to coreutils-6.12-7.fc10. 2. Open GNOME terminal using tcsh as login shell. Actual results: Shell initialization aborts complaining about an unknown colorls variable `ca'. Expected results: Shell is fully initialized and LS_COLORS are applied successfully. Additional info: - setting LS_COLORS in .cshrc has been working for the last 10 years ;o) - applying the 'setenv LS_COLORS ...' command on the command line appears to work however. - according to the RPM changelog, there has been a change related to this: "ls: --color now highlights files with capabilities (#449985)".
I am having the same problem with Fedora 9 after today's update to coreutils-6.10-28.fc9.i386. It's preventing me from "su"ing because (root's shell is set to /bin/tcsh). I can "source /home/beland/.cshrc" without error. If I put an "echo" statement on the first line of that file, I don't see the output when starting an xterm, leading me to believe it's not a problem with my customizations.
